Windows Defender ATP: comes in Windows 7 and 8.1

13/02/2018 12:05 by giorgos

Microsoft recently announced that Windows Defender's Windows Defender's Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) feature will also be available in Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems starting this summer.

The company will thus offer Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) to all the systems it still supports with updates.

Windows Defender ATP EDR will give administrators a rich view of the threats that end up in their endpoints, providing more accurate information to help protect each company's systems.Security image 3 - Windows Defender ATP: Comes in Windows 7 and 8.1

Microsoft also advises companies to combine EDR with Windows Defender, although it may "run side-by-side with third-party virus protection solutions."

"With Windows Defender ATP for Windows 10, Windows Server 2012R2 and 2016, it will be available in both Windows 7 and 8.1, providing security teams with a single solution for detecting and responding to advanced attacks," said Rob Lefferts, Partner Officer of Windows & Devices, Security & Enterprise.

Accelerating Microsoft's efforts to upgrade clients in Windows 7 is not surprising and is likely to accelerate in the coming months.

Windows 7 reaches the end of support with updates from the company in January of 2020, so consumers and organizations using the operating system have less than 2 years to complete the upgrade to either Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.

Statistics show, however, that Windows 7 still works at 40% of online systems around the world.

It remains to be seen whether Microsoft's attractive offer will be adopted by consumers and businesses.
